On Monday, March 11, from 3 to 4 p.m. at The Lincoln Home, engineer Edward Polewarczyk will give a talk on NASA’s Space Shuttle program.

In 2004, after the 2003 Columbia Space Shuttle disaster, Ed became NASA’s director of Orbiter Production and Operations. His presentation includes a description of a typical shuttle flight; from vehicle preparation through launch, flight, entry and landing. We will learn about the experiences of astronauts, activities throughout the mission, an explanation of the support activity, and daily operations at mission control.

The Lincoln Home is located at 22 River Road, Newcastle. For more information, contact Rhonda Hanna, 563-3350, or rhonda@lincoln-home.org. Visit our website, www.lincoln-home.org and follow us on Facebook for photos and events of daily life at The Lincoln Home.
